NEWS OF FULLERTON 1259 ATTEND MEN'S BIBLE CLASS SUNDAY The day was pleasant and everything was in readiness Sunday morning to receive the great throng at the morning session of Fullerton's big Bible class. City officials contributed by roping off the streets and preserving order at all approaches. The city band began playing at 9 o'clock: Three hundred men were on the grounds an hour before the beginning of the session and when the total tally was made at 9:45, there were 1259. Santa Ana reported 1,170. If Fullerton had not won it would have lost its position as the second largest class on the cast, but it still holds that record, having reached the high point of 89 over its opponent yesterday. This is the highest record that has been made by any class on the coast, except the one at Long Beach, but it is significant that the record made yesterday was greater than that of any individual class in the world on the same day, since the Taubman class at Long Beach is temporarily deprived of its leader and is not reaching the high points it did formerly. It may be said, however, that during the eight weeks the Santa Ana class had 90 in the aggregate more than Fullerton, but this only came after Fullerton threw out the Covina delegation and other lesser counts in order to satisfy Santa Ana. The program, with few exceptions, was carried out as advertised. Dr. David Starr Jordan was present and gave a magnificent address. C. H. Paddock, the world's famous sprinter, also delighted the audience with his message. John T. Houser gave a 20-minute exposition of the Bible lesson. The only disappointing feature was the failure to make connections with the governor at Sacramento. The wireless was in position and Professor Ames sat at the machine as operator while a member of the class called the governor from the Catalina Islands in order to catch the message as it came over the water from Sacramento. MEXICAN SECTION HAND SHOT THRICE Genaro Roma, a Mexican section hand on the Santa Fe, about 25 years old, was shot and seriously wounded Saturday evening about 6 o'clock by L. Hernandez, another Mexican section hand, following a quarrel. The shooting took place on the Santa Fe tracks west of Highland-ave in Fullerton. Roma is said to have been coming at Hernandez with a butcher knife about half as long as a man's arm, and Hernandez emptied his 44 call-bre revolver at him, three of the shots taking effect. Roma was shot in both wrists and in his breast, the bullet passing thru the body and coming out at the spine. Hernandez at once surrendered to S. E. Reed, Santa Fe agent, and was turned over to the police and taken to the county jail in Santa Ana. Roma was taken to the Santa Fe hospital in Los Angeles, and was still alive this morning. Both the men lived in Fullerton. Roma is married. It is said that the trouble began when Roma became angered at the section foreman who was an American, and said some bad things about the "gringos." Hernandez took it up, and said that the Americans are like everybody else—there are some good people among them, and some bad. Roma replied that Hernandez was as bad as the "gringos". That ended the quarrel at that time, but later when Hernandez was at his home-Roma came at him with a gun and a butcher knife, and wanted to fight. Hernandez did not want to fight, and tried to dissuade Roma with pleasant words, and reasoning. Roma kept crowding him, and he backed out of his house onto the tracks, and Roma followed him. It is that from Hernandez' statement to officers that Roma pulled the trigger of his gun on Hernandez, and it snapped. He then started on him with the butcher knife. Hernandez husted, his gun-stock over.

"FLU" PLAYING WITH MALE DELIVERY service sections served by Frank Montenyohl Strain will be temped on account of these down with the "flu." Ahiborn said today. "Mail for these sorted and delivered lee through the gene down for a day or two carriers have recovered to work to enable the partiment to again territory. "Four carriers an carrier have been seized by post office force in numbers." "A very fine spiritited by all in this car been doing carrier to their regular work office business has." The mail has been larly on schedule time. "It must also be the patrons have been and thus helped mate In another day. It enough carriers will to work and the deli be made regular." The only disappointing feature was the failure to make connections with the governor at Sacramento. The wireless was in position and Professor Ames sat at the machine as operator while a member of the class called the governor from the Catalina Islands in order to catch the message as it came over the water from Sacramento, but the long distance operator in Sacramento failed to make connections with the governor. The governor was so keenly disappointed that he telegraphed Mr. Houser in the afternoon to try to find the reason for the failure to connect with the class. He said that he remained in his mansion from 10 until 12 with instruction to the secretary that the call would be received and he would speak, but the operator did not get in touch with him. The great attendance record yesterday marks a new epoch in religious activity for Fullerton. It is freely predicted that it will be many years before such a record breaking attendance of any Bible class will ever be registered. According to the law of averages, considering the population of 6,000, every man in the city was in the Bible Class and 59 belonging elsewhere. Perhaps no other city in the world has ever experienced such a scene. The members of the class are desirious of thanking the papers for their part in making the day such a pronounced success. Fullerton is loyal to its own enterprise and the entire city may justly share in the great victory that was won yesterday. SANCHEZ INFANT DIES Maria Sanchez, 16 months old, died at the home of her parents on East Truslow-ave in Fullerton this morning. Interment will be in the Holy Cross Cemetery at Anaheim tomorrow. Angus McAulay funeral director. HAVE YOUR CAR SIMONIZED Leave your car one day, and we will scientifically dry, clean and simonize it, removing all stains and blemishes and providing a hard, dry shining surface.

CHICAGO, Mar. 6.—Railroads today bang a drive to bring down wages of their employees when bearings on applications for wage reductions by almost every rail transportation system of the country were begun before the United States railway labor board. Nearly all classes of employees are included in some portion of the hearings, except the "big four" brotheods and the switchmen, who are negotiating directly with the roads. "FLU" PLAYS HAVOC WITH MAIL SERVICE Delivery service in the residential sections served by mail carriers Frank Montenyohl and Luther A. Strain will be temporarily suspended on account of these carriers being down with the "flu," Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn said today. "Mail for these districts will be sorted and delivered at the post office through the general delivery window for a day or two, until sufficient carriers have recovered and returned to work to enable the post office department to again cover the entire territory." Four carriers and one substitute carrier have been stricken with the epidemic of "flu" out of a total of six carriers and substitute. The business section will be served daily as best it can under the present prevailing conditions. In addition to the carriers, two clerks have been stricken. This leaves the post office force badly diminished in numbers. "A very fine spirit has been exhibited by all in this crisis." Clerks have been doing carrier duty in addition to their regular work, and the post office business has been kept going. The mail has been dispatched regularly on schedule time. "It must also be mentioned, that the patrons have been very patient, and thus helped matters along nicely. In another day, it is hoped that enough carriers will be able to return to work and the delivery of mail can again be made regular. In the mean- CORONER'S VERDICT IS STRANGULATION Death by strangulation was the verdict at Santa Ana today in the case of Julian F. Cumberland, retired rancher of Los Angeles, found dead in the water at Sunset Beach. The coroner's jury did not enter into the question of whether death had been due to accident, suicide or murder. A. K. Cravath was foreman of the jury. Other members were Clinton Imte, F. E. Bearth, T. P. Kingrey, C. W. Deul and Charles F. Haven. Coroner C. D. Brown officiated. The inquest took place at the undertaking parlor of Smith & Tutillh. Dr. J. R. Clark, coroner's physician, reported that the body had been somewhat scratched and superficially bruised. No water was found in the lungs showing that Cumberland was dead before he entered the water. Rex Kratz, son-in-law of Cumberland, and his wife testified that a silver watch, small purse, overcoat and derby of the dead man were missing. Cumberland's knuckles were found bruised but this was caused probably by sand dabs or crabs of which several were found on the body. Sheriff C. E. Jackson described the bailing wire and iron weight, two and one-half feet long, found attached to the wire about the neck. The wire was wrapped two or three times about the neck and fastened in a manner which it would have been impossible for Cumberland himself. The only mark on the head was a slight scalp cut. Kratz said he saw no motive whatever for suicide. He said Cumberland always had been happy and of a jovial disposition, a man who made friends easily. His affairs also were in good order. Three years ago the deceased sold a ranch at La Verne. He formerly lived at Pomona While he had visited the Highland Park bank on Saturday he had Alex. Giants So To Return N If anyone had told the most rabid supporter of the champion Anaheim Elks that they could go out and skunk the colored demons of Los Angeles, the Alexander Giants and by the unbelievable score of 18 to 0, the R. F. would have told the informant that he had the flu and was out of his head. But such was the case. Be it said for the smoked Irishmen, they were badly shattered by influenza. Johnny Baugh, the Pomona college start moundsman, and Pullen, his battery mate were absent. Redlands, a young portsider, was started in the box and Baker, who was behind the bat, had difficulty in holding both him and Foote who replaced him in the third innning. Baker permitted five passed balls, all costly. But the Giants can't alibi out of all of it. They only obtained three hits, one decidedly scratchy. Both Salveson and Hughes mowed them down like grim reapers. Captain Buster Callan said Salveson never looked better in his life. Salveson fanned ten in five innings, permitting but one bingle. Hughes fanned nine in four innings and permitted two hits. If Salveson and Hughes continue to work as satisfactorily throut the season as they have so far, there won't be another Elks team that can stop the locals for even one game. There is no question but Anaheim now has the greatest scoring machine that has ever been assembled in Orange-co, with superb talent on the bench. Glenn Callan, veterans third baseman, was home in bed with the flu and Ramage, back in the lineup for the first time since last fall, held forth there. Stephens was at first until the eighth innning when fans got their first glimpse of him behind the bat. Lewis, the veteran who always steals away from Santa Fe Springs, even with an oil boom on, whenever there is a crucial baseball game on for the Elks, was seen at first for the last two innings. He finished with a perfect average, nothing coming his way. WIRELESSING ON TONIGHT, 7TH, 8TH Tonight in the great big or wee ama' hours is the time for the beginning of the exchange of messages between the governors of various states in the union and President Harding. Midnight as nearly as possible has been chosen but the time required to send and receive messages will keep the amateurs of the Orange County Radio Assn. busy for 10 or 15 minutes. Whether Governor William D. Stephens will send his message tonight or Tuesday or Wednesday has not been certain for sure. The local association has about 50 members. Messages will be heard at the various homes of the members. In Orange and Fullerton, it is said, raido parties will be given by members to friends and relatives. GERMAN ANTIQUE MARKET THRIVES BERLIN, Mar. 6. — Modern "antiques" are being purchased wholesale in Germany for sale of unwary foreigners and to newly rich Teutons, who have been prompted to seek objects of art of rumors that a number of princely families have been compelled to market family heirlooms and rare treasures, according to investigation of some clever buyers. The business of dealing in imitations has been so profitable that hundreds of new "antique" stores have been opened, and representatives with choice lists of things "old families" have to part with are encountered at every turn. GOVERNOR SMALL GOES TRIAL WAUKEGAN, Ill., March 6. — Governor Len Small faced trial today on charges of conspiracy to embezzle state funds. Small, the prosecution alleged, conspired to juggle millions in state funds in order to "pocket" interest that should have been turned into the exchequer of Illinois. It is al- RAIN MAKES GRASS AND BUTTER DROPS Butter got as low on Saturday, if not lower, than any day this year, according to local retailers. There was a drop of from 5 to 10 cents a pound over the week before. There was no sign of higher prices today, but the price level has been fluctuating and irregular for many weeks. On Saturday Chaffee's sold Whittier butter at 39 cents, compared with 43 the day before and 48 a week ago Friday. The price Saturday was the lowest this year. Ragged Robin butter brought 43, compared with 56 the week before. Kitchen's sold Golden State butter at 43 cents, a special price, and Danish and Challenge butter at the same figure. Prices the week before were around 5 cents higher. The Spartan grocers asked 43 for Clover Glen butter, eight or ten cents lower, while Golden State and storage butter were 10 to 6 cents below the price of the previous week. This is the season of the year when California butter is cheaper, because the rains bring in good pasture and producers are not obliged to buy feed. GLENN CALLAN, veterans third baseman, was home in bed with the flu and Ramage, back in the lineup for the first time since last fall, held forth there. Stephens was at first until the eighth inning when fans got their first glimpse of him behind the bat. Lewis, the veteran who always steals away from Santa Fe Springs, even with an oil boom on, whenever there is a crucial baseball game on for the Elks, was seen at first for the last two innings. He finished with a perfect average, nothing coming his way. The locals scored first in the second round when Stephens, the dependable, came thru with a single and scored on Bush's sacrifice fly. In the next frame, the locals piled up nine tallies. Redlands was chased from the mound and the Giants had to do considerable shifting around in order to bring Foote, their star shortstop, into the box. The locals scored one more in the fifth and seven more in the eighth. The attendance was probably the largest ever seen at a game on the high school field and Manager Billy Knott arranged for two more games, next Sunday and the Sunday following. The Giants are determined to come back strong next Sunday and make amends for their humiliating flasco of yesterday. It was that year terday that in case Baugh cannot get into form by Sunday, Jeffries, will be sent into the box. Jeffries is regarded as a close runner-up to the colored collegian.

SCHUMACHER CO. Opp. S. P. Depot W. Anaheim Phone 794 POULTRY FEEDS From Farmer to Consumer Giants Smothered Return Next Sunday MILTON WINS RACE; BREAKS BOWL MARK LOS ANGELES, Mar. 6.—Breaking the Beverly Bowl speed record of 109.8 miles per hour Tommy Milton, who led the speed demons last Sunday when the race was called off before it was half finished, came in a winner yesterday. His time was two hours, 15 minutes, 29.95 seconds, and he came within one tenth of a mile of equalling Jimmy Murphy's record of 110.9 made at the San Francisco speedway last December. The previous record for Beverly Hills was held by Jimmy Hearne. Jimmy Murphy was second, two laps behind, and Harry Hartz three feet back of Murphy. There were no accidents of any account. Milton drove a Durant Special, and the contrast between the performance of his car and that of most of the others was startling. Murphy's prize was $5,000 and Hartz' $3,000. Milton, who drew first place, was never headed except when he had to change a tire. Gradually he increased the pace from 110 miles per hour to more than 112. Probably the best speed of the race was made by Bordino, who did one lap at better than 118 miles an hour. Accidents, especially to tires were plentiful. In his 107th lap Roscoe Sarles in his cerise Duesenberg broke a valve. In his 98th lap Peter de Paolo, driving his maiden race in a Frontenac, was stopped by engine trouble. In his 139th lap Art Klein had to leave the course because of engine trouble. Bordino had to change tires in his ninth, 29th, 64th, 79th and 105th laps. He left the race in the 139th lap. In the 117th lap Milton had to change a tire, and De Palma took the lead, but his right rear tire had Accidents, especially to tires were plentiful. In his 107th lap Roscoe Sarles in his cerise Duesenberg broke a valve. In his 98th lap Peter de Paolo, driving his maiden race in a Frontenac, was stopped by engine trouble. In his 139th lap Art Klein had to leave the course because of engine trouble. Bordino had to change tires in his ninth, 29th, 64th, 79th and 105th laps. He left the race in the 139th lap. In the 117th lap Milton had to change a tire and De Palma took the lead, but his right rear tire had to be changed and his radiator filled. In the 151st lap he broke a piston, and lost his chance. Milton again was in the lead with two laps to his credit. Murphy and Hartz were behind; and couldn't head him. Hartz tried to head Murphy, but likewise failed. And the race was over. Bowling Local bowlers figured in an all-day tourney at Hollywood yesterday. A five-man team which finished fourth in 12 teams included Raymond, Myre, Gordon and Heffron. Doubles were rolled by Gordon and Heffron, Raymond and Myre, Logefiel and McConnoughey. Gordon was high man for nine games with total of 1765, average 196. Results of doubles were not available here yet today. The fast-stepping Studebakers meet Dunton's Fords and the Bulks clash with the Dew Drops in the City League tonight.
